"Lord Zheng also has ideas for my Australian steamship." Zhang Tianwen asked a little knowingly, and everyone had already asked bluntly.

"Yes, Consul Zhang, the Zheng family is indeed very interested in Australian ships, I don't know what you think."

Owen can tell you clearly that there are two different arguments about exports in China, one is to agree and the other is not to agree, and the one side that agrees is mainly represented by the shipyard owner, who has expressed a warm welcome to export. As for the military, there has been no statement yet, but it is certain that they also have some opinions on exports. ”

What Zhang Tianwen said is not false at all, Wang Tiehammer in the navy is actually very opposed to the cooperation project of steamships, first, this will bring too much pressure to the navy, and it will also cause a significant decline in the advantages in the future.

If the gap between us and the enemy is not large, and the navy has no idea of defeating the other side at all, even Spain may not be able to defeat it, after all, the other side is a great maritime power, and its combat experience at sea is much stronger than that of Australia.

Zheng Hongqi has roughly understood when he hears this, and basically understands the meaning of the Australian people, and now there is no need to ask, the other party has not yet discussed it in China, and he can't ask it, just see who defeats whom in the end.

At the same time as Zheng Hongqi and Zhang Tianwen were negotiating, domestic discussions were also continuing.

You Nanzhe is explaining with a lot of information and data in his hand, the exported ships will not leak Australia's technology, and even if the other party obtains these ships, the possibility of transforming them into warships is not high, and it can be designed into a design that cannot be transformed.

For this reason, he has already designed that as long as the other party transforms it, the whole ship will be changed, so that the original data will be changed, and the carrying capacity of the whole ship will be reduced a lot, and the most critical service life will also be reduced.

"None of this is the key, the most important thing is whether it can be loaded with artillery." As soon as Wang Tiezhu spoke, he asked the crux of the problem.

If it can be loaded with artillery, this is an armed merchant ship, and there is no clear difference between the boundary between an armed merchant ship and a warship. It can be said that throughout the 17th century, except for the Dutch, merchant ships were equipped with cannons, and the merchant ships of other countries were equipped with cannons.

If the Zheng family obtains such a ship, it will be equivalent to having a fleet, and the power of the East China Sea will far exceed the garrison force in Hong Kong.

If this happens, it will pose a threat to the navy's troops in Hong Kong, so Wang Tiezhu absolutely does not agree to do this, even if there is no threat, she does not agree, the navy is his lifeblood, and there can be no loss of a little.

One wrong step would have caused endless trouble for the Australian navy, and as for whether the Spaniards would arm themselves with these ships. In fact, the king is not too worried, because they have a natural opponent, the Dutch, and the battle between them will completely cancel out this.

The Zheng family is different, this guy has almost no opponents in Daming, and the opponent can only be regarded as Australia, and the number of ships in Australia is not as large as others.

The people of the Zheng family are not stupid, of course they can think of this problem, not to mention what artillery exit to use to restrict the other party's nonsense, it is useless. Once the ship's maneuverability is greatly increased, the power of the artillery is not so important.

The main thing is that the other party has too many ships, which is a problem that Wang Tiehammer is very worried about, if you only have dozens of ships, it's okay to say. But you have hundreds of them, how can you not worry about them?

In case of some unpleasant behavior, the disparity in strength between the two sides will be too obvious, and Australia will not dare to block a fleet, which is simply looking for death.

"Gentlemen. Ladies, you are too worried, are we exporting at the same time. Won't the number of warships increase, it's all proportional, so we're overwhelming each other anyway. "You Nanze was very polite like all the introductions.

But Wang Tiehammer just smiled a little disdainfully, who believes this, Australia's warships are increasing, it's really funny, every year in order to increase a little military spending, Congress can fry its head and blood, you dare to say that military spending will be increased.

At that time, there is no increase in what you give, while you are adding one, the Zheng family is also increasing, even if the number of both sides is the same, they will lose to each other in the end, and the other party's sea experience will completely abuse Australia for 108,000 miles.

"I'm afraid there is no need to increase warships, Australia's main goal in the next few years is to develop the mainland and participate in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, there are not many warships needed, and there is no need to build so many warships." Before Wang Tiezhu could speak, a member of the parliament had already begun to speak, which was simply demolishing the other party's platform.

To increase the number of warships is to increase military spending, which is simply the life of the parliamentarians, and it is more difficult to make them pay than to pluck the feathers from the iron rooster.

Perseverance has become synonymous with parliamentarians, who don't care so much about the increase in military spending as if it were killing them.

As for the security brought by the increase in military spending to Australia, the security issue is what the military should do to care about our affairs, and our main responsibility is to use the money as much as possible to the most needed blade, and this is what the parliamentarians think.

You Nanze completely forgot at this time that he had also opposed the increase in military spending before, and now saying such things is tantamount to slapping himself in the mouth, and this mouth is very loud.

"No, no, then what about the future of the shipyard, can it be maintained by so little subsidy, I ask you to look at the long-term is good, the most important research is that we need a lot of practical opportunities, no opportunity there is no innovation."

You Nanzhe was already a little speechless, and he didn't understand anything to tell these people, so his tone was also bad.

Everyone knows that the shipyard is in trouble, it's just that everyone is avoiding the topic, and now that he suddenly brought it up, he had to respond, and he had to respond.

"Can the subsidy be increased, and can I go to the other two shipyards to do research?" A parliamentarian began to propose.

Hehe, You Nanzhe is simply speechless to these guys in his heart, and he went to two other shipyards, isn't that leaking technology, on the one hand, saying that restricting the export of technology and doing this kind of thing on the other hand, it is also a shame for them to think of it.

It seems that there is indeed a problem in everyone's hearts now, You Nanzhe has disdained to talk to these people, opened the door of the conference room, and with a bang, he was walked out, leaving everyone inside to look at the distant back in amazement, thinking about whether he had done something wrong.
